VashonBePrepared is a coalition of some 10 disaster preparedness organizations on Vashon-Maury Island in Washington's Puget Sound region. We work closely with local and county organizations.
VashonBePrepared provides training and educational opportunities to keep the island community prepared for the next emergency.
In the near future, the Are You Ready? campaign will include an new phase focused on NERO (Neighborhood Emergency Response Organization). This phase will include descriptions, contact information and other relevant information for joining an existing NERO or forming a new NERO. Watch this space for updates.
Just a quick report that power (and phone) has been out for parts of the west side (near Redding's Loop Road at least) for ~3 hours. Apparently a large tree fell across the power line near 216th St. on 111th Ave. The tree has been removed at this point and crews are working on repairing the line. Hopefully power will be restored within a couple more hours or less.
